Be sure to make the time for these upcoming information sessions here at the library!:
Introduction to RefWorks - Wednesday October 3rd @ 12:45pm
RefWorks is an online tool you can use to create and manage your own citation database which will help you organize sources, create instant bibliographies and even embed citations right into your paper! This session will show you why RefWorks is such a great resource, how to set up an account, and get you started on importing citations for all of your research materials. Bring your laptop and follow along!
Introduction to GIS - Thursday October 4th @ 12:45pm
Geospacial Information Systems (GIS) are collections of hardware, software and data that are used to capture, manage and display geographically referenced information for the purposes of analysis and map creation. This session will highlight what GIS can do, the data and programs that are available to Waterloo students, reliable web resources, and how to access GIS services through our library.
We will not get into actually using GIS software during this session. Instruction in ArcGIS, the program licensed for use in UW libraries, can be obtained on an individual, by appointment basis by contacting me (Sara) at sperkins@library.uwaterloo.ca
*Additional or follow-up sessions for both RefWorks and GIS will be held to serve popular demand. Leave a comment or send me an email if there are times that would better serve you or if you are interested in learning more about either of these resources.
